I decided to try the AM-SAR because of the rate of fire and I was incredibly disappointed with it because the effective range is much limited than the spec says. Given I don't know the actual range but it's more than half of the "stated" distance. For me I have to be incredibly close to use effectively which isn't go for  long-range shooter.

As an aside, I'd love to see a trial feature that lets players try out new weapons, items, internals, etc and such before buying them.

Buddy, you should have checked up the forums first before you bought that gun.  AM-SAR is worse compared to the default SharpShooter primary.  That being said, I do agree with the trial part.

you're right...live and learn right!

If you really want a good primary for SS, I would suggest the Slug Rifle.  (I'm making an educated guess that you want to be a little far from the battlefield)  It's a great weapon if you want to hit hard from far away with the Sabot.

Hawkens has the most dps i think. slug may be harder to play.

AM SAR has higher DPS than SLUG or Hawken rifle, its just much harder to hit a target enough to make it effectively more in combat.

This is incorrect. As of December 2013 (if not earlier), the AM-SAR is strictly inferior to the SA Hawkins. The AM-SAR has lower DPS, higher heat generation and a lower max range than the Hawkins. Until it is adjusted, there is literally(lit.; def. 1) no reason to use the AM-SAR if you can use the SA Hawkins.

Maybe they should do this when they revamp the AM-SAR's specs.
